HP 9000/380 console? software? (was Re: HP 9000/382 Questions)

I've borrowed an HP 9000/380 from a friend, along with a 9122D floppy drive, but no software. It has an A1416A Color VRX DIO-II "Kathmandu" video interface, but I'm hoping that I can just use the serial port as a console. Does the DE9 serial console use the IBM pinout? Do I have to pull the A1416A

My memories of a bloody back of hands are coming back. We did the same with grant cards. Made a bacth of longer ones, and then updated again by going three wide, the 3rd just for stability. Remember the DEC FE seeing them one day, made him very happy by giving him a few of them. -pete On

XDFCOPY.EXE from that BonusPak ISO isn't working on my ImageDisk rig; it says it can't format track 0. I think I'll try reinstalling DOS 6.22 on the PS/2 temporarily to see if I can write out the XDF disks there. Or maybe I'll try PC-DOS 7 if I can find it. -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X

That XDFCOPY.EXE from the BonusPak ISO also has the same issue under MS-DOS 6.22 on the PS/2. However, I got an OS/2 prompt from the first two floppies of the OS/2 Warp Connect 3.0 set (which are regular 1.44M floppies), and then I can CD to the DOS 6.22 HD and use that XDFCOPY.EXE to write the

Warp 3 requires a 386SX with 4MB at minimum. Connect will work with a 386 and 8 to 12MB RAM, depending on what LAN services you choose to run. Here is a link to an IBM Redbook on the subject, covering all of this in great detail. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg244552.pdf No version

RE: Substituting DSHD for DSDD disks (or DS2D if you prefer)

82901A and the HP 9121D now work great. Quite low capacity (270k?) due to the weird LIF formatting, formats 35 tracks but uses only 33, out of the 40. I wonder why. Partially because the original 5.25" drives (Shugart SA400) were 35 track (#0 - #34), not 40. I don't even remember, . . . Does

Re: Terminal Emulation for Windows - supporting Kermit File Transfer

I still use a computer with Windows 98 SE and a native serial port for terminal emulation. The program that I use is not free but it does more varieties of terminal emulation, and does them better than any other emulator that I have used - ProComm Plus. I have owned it for about twenty years.
